She can see it coming. lolYup. I feel they are very honest too. I asked her straight if we were in her comfort zone with Casey, and she said yes, but if we weren't successful after she actually had time to heal (hopefully stitches + no eggs for a couple weeks will provide that), that she may need surgery and she wouldn't be comfortable with that and she recommended another ducktorfor that, so if this goes south we may check with that vet. To be honest, that means a lot to me. That tells me that she won't be guessing just to look good and if she knows something she probably knows for sure.
Both Casey and Allie made a real impression at the vet. They are our most tame ducks and all our ducks are fairly tame for outdoor ducks. Casey and Allie are probably on the level of the more nervous house ducks. When the vet was listening to Allie's breathing in various places, Allie was just standing on the floor. She let the vet put the stethoscope up against her in various places, and even lift a wing to listen from her back side. No one was holding her or restraining her, she just let it happen while curiously watching every move the vet made. And Casey now knew what was coming, was scared, but when super painful things weren't happening, she just lie on her back calmly, and when it was bad, she squirmed minimally and gave her objection honk a few times. She never bit or freaked out at all (just some leg peddling). I am so proud of my great patients
Disclaimer: Casey is more squirmy about getting her oral medications than having minor surgery on her privates.
Lets hope it won't come to surgery. Such good girls too. [I hope they got some yummy meal worms when they got home.]
